Library

The session
Starting a session should feel like opening an app on your phone.
The rest of the platform follows from it. A clinician launches, guides, and measures a session from the computer already on their desk.
Start any scenario from your desktop.
Heights, flying, public speaking: the whole library opens from your Mac or Windows desktop. Choose a scenario and the headset loads it.
See what your client sees.
Their view streams live to your screen. Hold the scene, step in beside them as an avatar, or move them to a safe place.
The session records itself.
Distress ratings, session history, and biofeedback land in your dashboard while you work, ready to pull into your notes.
The only expertise it asks for is yours.
There's no rig to set up and no technician to call.
Who it's for
Built for the person running the session.
Private practice, clinics and health systems, and universities each run sessions differently. Start with the one that matches yours.
Private practice
Run exposure sessions with one headset and your laptop, in the office or remote.

In practice
Where it's already in use.
From solo practices to psychiatric hospitals, national health services, and research universities.
I was an early adopter of VR PTSD training in the US since the early 2000s. However, in 2023, when I discovered PsyTech VR, I realized that it is the most advanced system available for Mental Health specialists.
James HusbandClinical psychologist (CBT/EMDR), East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust

The library
From first fear to safe place.
Four clinical categories, plus a relaxation suite so every session has somewhere calm to land.
Fears & phobias
Agoraphobia, social phobia, and the specific fears clients bring you.
PTSD
Graded exposure for trauma from violence, war, disasters, and accidents.
OCD
Contamination and everyday‑difficulty scenarios for exposure and response prevention.
Addiction
Craving‑induction environments for alcohol, food, and smoking.
AI Safe Place
Your client describes somewhere calm; the platform builds it around them as a personalized 360° environment. The relaxation suite also includes breathing exercises across 40+ nature scenes†, guided mindfulness, virtual travel, and art, sound, and muscle‑relaxation practices.
“During trauma therapy, we often use a technique called the Safe Place… some people struggle to imagine such a place on their own. In these cases, PsyTech's AI‑powered Safe Place can be an excellent resource.” Dr. Gianni Serra — clinical and digital psychologist (CBT)

Questions
What clinicians ask first.
Do I need to be technical to run VR sessions?
No. If you can use your phone and your laptop, you can run a session. Sessions launch from your computer, and onboarding walks you through the first one.
What equipment do I need?
A Meta Quest, PICO, or HTC headset, plus the Mac or Windows computer you already use. On the Basic plan you bring your own headset; Standard and Premium ship with a Meta Quest 3S.
Does PsyTech VR support both CBT and EMDR?
Yes. The platform carries protocols for both CBT and EMDR, including an EMDR kit, across exposure scenarios for fears and phobias, PTSD, OCD, and addiction.
Can I run remote or group sessions?
Yes. Sessions run one-on-one or as guided groups, in person or remote, with the clinician controlling every scenario from their own screen.
Is PsyTech VR HIPAA and GDPR compliant?
Yes, on both. Documentation for HIPAA and GDPR is published in full.
How are sessions measured?
Distress ratings, session statistics, and biofeedback history are captured in the clinician dashboard during the session — evidence for your notes, not extra work afterward.
Can I switch from another VR therapy provider?
Yes. PsyTech VR offers a migration plan that carries your practice over from other VR providers.
